The Armed Forces of Ukraine (UAF) intensified preparations for the defense of the Dnipropetrovsk region in the context of an aggravating situation at the front. According to Ivan Tymochka, head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, this initiative is a response to growing threats from the Russian Federation, which is increasing the number of airstrikes and drone attacks.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine have apparently begun to build defense fortifications in the Dnipropetrovsk region and prepare the region for defense. This was reported by the French OSINT analyst Clement Molin.
"The engineering troops began to build fortifications behind Pokrovsk, as well as the first ones on the way to the Dnipro," Mollin wrote on the "X" network.
He also published a photo in which he marked with red lines the places of construction of new defensive fortifications.
The General Staff did not comment on this information at the moment, but Ivan Tymochko, the head of the Reservist Council of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, emphasized on the "Ranok.LIVE" broadcast that the information released by the OSINT analyst only increases the number of strikes by enemy aircraft and drones in these directions.
"I would always leave the topic of the location of fortifications outside the scope of attention. Because as soon as such information appears, the enemy immediately begins to adapt its tactics and strategies to it," Tymochko said.
According to him, defensive fortifications in the Dnipropetrovsk region are not something unique, because to one degree or another they are built everywhere, especially in the suburbs.
Tymochko called it "a kind of story" when a foreigner indicates the specific location of fortifications with exact coordinates.
"Perhaps this will be a guarantee of some kind of peace for civilians. But they heard and forgot. And the enemy does not forget, he is starting to increase his strike forces in this direction," Tymochko emphasized.
It will be recalled that on October 3, Ivan Tymochko stated that the defense of Vugledar had fulfilled its tasks, as the Russians were unable to launch their offensive.
